Kyo vs. the Hiccups
Written by: XBlackfireX
"Shigure-san have you seen Kyo-kun?" Tohru Honda asked as she confronted the older man that sat reading. Shigure pushed his reading glasses further up the bridge of his nose as he replied to her question.
"Not since afternoon, do you need help with something?"
"No, not really, I just needed to ask him something."
A look of pleasure took the dog's face as his eyebrows raised, "What kind of question?" Tohru noticed the perverted gleam in his eye and immediately turned away. She could feel the blush take her face. Shigure gave into laugh as closed his book and arose. "I'm just kidding Tohru-kun, but if I see him I will tell him you're looking for him ok?"
"Arigato," she thanked him and then exited the room.
'Where can he be?' Tohru thought as she continued looking around the house for the hidden feline. At once she heard an odd sound coming from what seemed to be the next room. Feeling the curiosity burn within her, she slowly walked across the hall to discover what exactly was producing the sound. As she peeked into the room, she noticed a familiar body lying on the floor, with a pillow tightly covering his face.
"Kyo.........kun?" she slowly said, wondering why the neko boy was using a pillow to cover his face. Startled at her voice, Kyo immediately removed the pillow, only to reveal a miserable look upon his face. A look of worry flushed her face as she quickly went to Kyo's side and felt his forehead for any signs of fever. "Oh Kyo are you alright?!" He gently pushed her hand away from his forehead, a look of frustration filling his eyes. As he tried to reply to her and tell her he was just fine, a strange happening took place.
"I'm just hiccup fine!" After which he clasped a hand over his mouth, his famous anger vein appearing in the corner of his forehead. "Damnit! What the hell hiccup do I have to hiccup do to get rid of these hiccup damn hiccups!!!!!" he shouted, a fist going into the wooden floor.
Feeling relief wash through her, Tohru tried her best to comfort the distressed neko, "It's alright Kyo. If you want I can help you get rid of them." She smiled, causing Kyo to flinch. He shook his head stubbornly.
"I don't need YOUR hiccup help!" he growled, through clenched teeth. Tohru bowed her head wishing he would give into her helping him. Seeing her reaction, Kyo immediately felt guilty, as usual. He sighed, giving into another hiccup as he gave in. "Ok hiccup ok you can help."
Tohru smiled once again as she took him by the hand into the living area. She sat him down and then left the room to go and get what she thought would help him. The neko was truly confused. Moments later she returned with a glass filled with water. "Here Kyo-kun drink this. Mom always said a little water cures any kind of hiccups. He took the glass and sniffed at it. His eyes narrowed at her.
"What did you hic do to it?"
Tohru looked surprised, "Nothing! Do you really think I would poison you?"
"I'd prefer milk hiccup."
"Nani?"
"I didn't say hiccup anything!" he shouted drinking the water until not even a drop remained in the glass. Tohru watched anxiously, her hands clasped together on her lap.
"Well?" She started, as Kyo set the glass down and remained silent. A hiccup escaped from Kyo signaling that her attempt had not worked.
"Rats!" Tohru snapped her finger as her solution had not worked.
"Can you please hiccup not say that!"
"Oh sorry, um, bats!" she corrected, a nervous smile taking her face.
"Has the neko got the hiccups?" The two turned and found Yuki Sohma entering the room, a curious look on his face. Kyo turned his back to the rat and crossed his arms. Yuki sat by Tohru, an idea brewing in his thoughts. Tohru suddenly thought of an idea that would surely cure his hiccups. She inched over to Yuki, whispering something in his ear. The boy shivered from the feeling, but nodded in agreement. As much as the idea made him sick, he would go through it for Tohru.
"Kyo there is something I need to tell you," Yuki began as he tapped Kyo on the shoulder. Nothing but the sounds of Kyo's hiccups was heard in reply. Yuki shuddered before going on, "Kyo you are my favorite cousin and, and I love you very much." Tohru squealed in delight as Yuki and Kyo looked quite ill. Yuki placed a hand to his face, his thumb and middle finger massaging the bridge of his nose as Kyo looked as if someone had stepped on his tail.
"What the hell is wrong with you rat boy?! Are you frickon sick or something?!"
"Yay! You did it Yuki-kun! You got rid of Kyo-kun's hiccups!" She laughed, wanting to hug Yuki dearly, yet she didn't.
"The joy is too much to bear," Yuki stated, still trembling at the words that had proceeded from his mouth. Tohru was so caught up in the excitement, she barely heard Kyo hiccup once again. Her joy faded at once. Had he been cursed with the never-ending hiccups? Yuki shook his head, not willing to volunteer for any more of Tohru's wonderful ideas.
"We that hiccup worked!" Kyo shouted, his anger rising.
"But I thought scaring someone with the hiccups was another way to get rid of them!" Tohru pouted.
"You tried," Yuki sighed, finally recovering from his trauma. Before anyone could say another word, Tohru had locked herself in an embrace with Kyo. {POOF} Tohru opened her eyes to find a very angry orange cat sitting her lap.
"What the hiccup hell is wrong with you?!" the cat growled, the hair on the back of his neck arising.
"Well do you have any better ideas?" Yuki asked, defending Tohru from Kyo's outburst. Kyo flexed his sharp nails from his paws at Yuki.
"Shut-up hiccup rat face!"
"Tohru-kun may I speak with you for a moment?" Shigure asked from the entrance of the room. Tohru nodded, placing the angered orange cat on the wooden floor beside her. As she walked out of the room with Shigure, Kyo transformed back into his human form. Yuki looked disgusted with his cousin.
"You never cease to amaze me do you know that?"
Kyo re-dressed himself and stood, not caring for anything more Yuki had to offer. As he did so, Tohru walked back into the room, a LARGE red hue covering her face. Her hands trembled as they came together in a clasp. She looked to Shigure standing behind her and shook her head. Shigure smiled reassuringly as he shooed her into doing what she hadn't expected to be doing at all. She stood face to face with Kyo.
"Tohru what the—"Kyo was cut off by the kiss given to him by Tohru. She quickly pulled away, the blush becoming too much to bear. Yuki's eyes widened at what he had just witnessed. Shigure left the room, feeling quite pleased with his idea. Kyo gaped as if a goldfish out of water.
"N-No more hiccups?" she asked, her voice shaking. He shook his head, and that was that.
Author's Notes: I am quite pleased with the way this particular fiction turned out. Now I'm not sure if any of the Sohma's transform when kissed but I assumed they didn't. If they do please tell me so I can correct it. Reviews are welcomed. Thank you.
